24 Feb., 1904 - Blair Courier - Mrs. H. Schneider

Mrs. H. Schneider, wife of a farmer living near Fontanelle, died this morning, aged 42, from the effects of an injury she received a few days ago. She was watching a corn sheller at work on the farm, and the sleeve of her dress was caught in the cogs. Before the machine could be stopped, her right arm was drawn into the wheels and broken both above and below the elbow. Before medical aid could reach her she sustained a severe loss of blood. Her injuries were not at first considered fatal, but she gradually grew worse and died early this morning. Death was due to blood poisoning - Saturday Fremont Tribune.

Note: No burial records were located.
